Performance still of "First Choice" from the opening of Dialogues of Practice, Part 1 at West Los Angeles College Gallery, March 14th, 2013.
First Choice
Dialogues of Practice, Part 1
This Thursday, March 14th, I will be showing some new drawings and
performing at the opening of Dialogues of Practice, Part 1, an
exhibition curated by Kristi Lippire.
Dialogues of Practice, Part 1
West Los Angeles College Gallery
9000 Overland Ave., Culver City, 90230
March 14th – April 25th
Opening Reception March 14th 7-9 pm.
Dialogues of Practice pairs ten L.A. artists with ten artists from the
First Street Gallery Art Center, a Claremont organization “founded on
the proposition that human potential for creativity and artistic
expression is not limited by physical or intellectual disabilities.”
Basically, the L.A. artists were asked to make work in response to
work made by artists from First Street, or to work in collaboration
with those artists. It’s an interesting show with excellent artists,
bringing attention to a truly exceptional program. I’m very happy to
be a part of it.
I will be performing at the opening on Thursday night, which runs from
7-9pm. Estimated performance time: 8pm.
Hope to see you there!
The Tokeleys featured on The Marc and Tom Show
My band from the early aughts, The Tokeleys, is featured as the intro and outro music on The Marc and Tom Show. The Marc and Tom show is a conversation between two greats of comedy broadcasting and podcasting: Marc Maron of WTF with Marc Maron, and Tom Scharpling of the Best Show on WFMU! I couldn’t be more proud to be marginally involved with this project. The song used is “Mausoleum”, and you can check it out and download for free (as part of the “Sons of Horus” album) in the Audio section of this site.
New Website Launched!
Welcome to the new John Hogan Studio site.
There are videos, images, and music streams, and I’m sure to add more as time goes on. It even comes pre-loaded with eleven posts backdated by five months. Please explore and enjoy.

Art 21 Guest Blog
Hi. I was a Guest Blogger for Art 21. This is the photo I gave them to use.
I Guest Blogged for Art 21 not too long ago. I wrote about my initiation into postmodern notions of the abject via Chris Elliott’s Get A Life, iconoclastic self-published ’50’s art critic Theodore L. Shaw as related to Marina Abramovic, Paul McCarthy as related to Tim & Eric, Disney’s Hall of Presidents and reactionary painter Jon McNaughton, the life’s work of subcultural icon Ian Svenonious, and Knowledges at Mount Wilson Observatory. You can access all my blogs here.
Enjoy!!
